or.."i did not have sexual relations with that women"..clinton.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named 2]

"I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?" - Bart, The Simpsons

 

"I'm Gumby, Damnit!" - Eddie Murphy as Gumby, Saturday Night Live

I think that the political quotes should be in their own category, though they do belong in some TV list category.

 

I also remember way too many of these!

Edited December 2, 2006 by trekz

[He Who Shall Not Be Named 2]

"What chu talking about Willis?" Gary Coleman from Different Strokes

[Theunicornhunter 2]

I agree the political comments could have their own category - and from the list - it's hard to see how a phrase at one Olympics could join the public mantra.

 

Others that come to mind are:

 

Same bat time, same bat channel

 

Well, Golly (golly drawn out) (Gomer Pyle)

 

Oh Boy (Quantum Leap)

 

Do not attempt to adjust your set...

[hangon 3]

"hey sucka" B.A A-team.

...

 

"Eat my shorts"bart..simpsons.

...

 

"respect my authority god.damnit"cartman.

...

 

"WHAT??"..Stone Cold..Monday Night Raw.

[A l t e r E g o 9]

"Ain't I a stinker?" Bugs Bunny

 

"Eeeeeeewww!" Lucy Ricardo

 

"I asked you not to tell me that." Don Addams-Get Smart

 

"I'm a doctor, not a _______!" (Do I have to say it?)

 

"Luuuucy! You got some 'splaining to do!" Ricky Ricardo

 

"One of these days, Alice... *pow-zip!* To the moon!" Jackie Gleason-Honeymooners

[He Who Shall Not Be Named 2]

"Oh, my God, they killed Kenny!" South Park

[youbroughtheryouRiker 2]

Personally, I don't think ads should qualify. Ad slogans and taglines are a class by themselves.

 

As for omissions,

 

"Eat my shorts" (Bart Simpson, "Simpsons")

 

"See you next week on HEEEE-HAAWWWWW" ("Hee-Haw")

 

"Have your pet spayed or neutered" (Bob Parker, "The Price Is Right")

 

"Whoa!" (Joey, "Blossom")

 

"Hellooooooooo Nurse!" (Yakko and Wakko Warner, "Animaniacs")

 

"Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" (Brain, "Pinky And The Brain")

 

"WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH" (Lucy Ricardo, "I Love Lucy")

 

Not to mention all the Looney Tunes catchphrases: Thufferin' Thuccotash, I Tawt I Taw A Puddy Tat, Greetings Earthling, Ooh that makes me angry, What's up Doc?, That's All Folks!, You're dethpicable, Be vewy vewy quiet I'm huntin' wabbits, Of course you realize this means war!, etc.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named 2]

I'm disappointed "Ward, I think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night." didn't make it in.

[trekz 7]

"Wilbur!" from MR ED

 

and as Krissy suggested on the other thread:

 

"Are you ready for some Football?" - Monday Night Football

[youbroughtheryouRiker 2]

And where's "Won't you be my neighbor?" from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood???

I'm surprised "Make it so!" didn't make it on somewhere but two other Trek quotes did.

 

True, but it's three Trek qoutes there, and they are:

#93 -- "Resistance is futile" (Picard as Borg, "Star Trek: The Next Generation")

,

#22 -- "Live long and prosper" (Spock, "Star Trek")

and

#14 -- "Space, the final frontier ..." (Capt. Kirk, "Star Trek")

.

 

The first one mentioned is my favorite.

 

Is it number 100 or number 1 that is the most popular one, since the list was in order of popularity?
